The Perfect Boots

My second pair of Miss Me boots cracked again. I'm SO done with them. I'm on a new search now. This is what I'm looking for in my perfect pair of boots:

pull-on, no zippers

black AND brown - I realized today I need brown too :).

knee-high

fairly flat

<$100

not western-like, motorcycle-like, or riding-boot-like but a hybrid of the three

durable....maybe leather?

waterproof

Those are pretty reasonable demands, right? Well, I've searched and searched all over the internet. That's a lie. I only searched at Zappos, Piperlime, Endless, Amazon, and Victoria's Secret. I prefer to shop at the first three because of free shipping and returns. Here are some of my choices right now. I just got paid and it's my birthday soon so I think two pairs of boots is a great present for me!! :D

What do you guys think? Which one do you think I should get?

P.S. Check out my interview at Bijo!!!! They also have a great giveaway right now that you'll thank me for later ;).

I love the first ones best. They are plain but have enough detail not to be boring and look like gumboots (what do you call gumboots in the US? Wellies? Or is that Britain?) Anyway, love the first ones!

I really like the fifth ones, and, like almost everybody else, I like the first ones as well! But the ALDO Lashawns have to be my favorite. Have you ever tried looking for boots at Pink Ice? They have some really cute ones there. I'm not sure about quality though, I never bought any from there. Or you could even look at Payless. They always have great deals on good shoes.

I too am on the hunt for a (couple) great pair(s) of boots! And my qualifications are almost identical to yours, though I would add not piratey to the list. I would be willing to drop more than $100, if I found the right pair. So far, the Børn Norelle (http://www.bornshoes.com/Product.aspx?ProductID=4562) is at the top of my list, but above my prefered price range.

I have also heard great things about boots from Banana Republic, especially quality-wise, but I haven't found a suitable pair there.

Do you regularly buy boots online? I've tried on too many pairs in stores and had them look terrible on my foot/leg, so even with free returns I think the process could turn into a big hassle. Have you had much success?

I love the top left, in both colors, I also like the second to last ones, on the left bottom. I don't like the last ones on the bottom right...they look cheap.I'm sorry your second pair split, that SUCKS! I'll never buy that brand!

I love these the bandolino boots called Castalina. go to www.bandolino.com the click on sale and then on fall specials. I tried them on and they are divine. I've had a pair o black bandolino boots for two years and they're as good as new!

My favorites are the first and then the one on the left in the 3rd line. It's hard to find the right boots. I always think I have found the perfect pair until I find the next perfect pair. :) I do advocate leather over non-leather only because I find them to be more durable and if you get scuffs on them you can buff them up with polish. Also warmer if that's an issue.

@ em²ile² I do regularly buy boots online. There aren't many shoe stores around me and I don't have the time to drive around. It is MUCH easier to shop online - plus, there are more selections! Their return policy is excellent too. Endless has a 365 day return policy. It can't get any better than that! And you can always find ways to get cashback or coupons or deals too.

i think u should ge the 2nd pair of brown boots for urself. i think their cute. and going down i like the very last to the right and the very frist one for the black. i think u should get those lol ;) by the way can u tell where to find those boots in the lower right please? the far right???
